lyrics

HURRICANE
Momma slung drinks at the Party Doll
For a cold water flat above the bar
Old man raising a family on the other side of town
Made his way across the tracks once the sun went down
Me and my brother, not enough to eat
Beer-filled baby bottles rolling in the backseat
Left us parked in the alley in the Texas heat
That woman must have been insane
Living in the Hurricane

Tossed about like so much trash
Until grandma saved us from the CPS
Cuz’ there were parties down in Houston, down in New Orleans
Momma always traveled light once she hit the street
Come around in the middle of the night
Waking every neighbor, trying to start a fight
Screaming ‘bout her babies in the front porch light
With the shit running through her veins
Living in the Hurricane

Learned to make a fist when I was five-years old
Squeezed the anger into a red hot coal
Forgiveness aint a gift for someone else
The only one to burn is gonna be yourself
Lighting in my heels since I hit the road
Got the call she was gone and buried in a hole
When I find myself hummin' in the neon glow
Her old ghost stumbles through my brain
Living in the Hurricane
